Tinnitus - Can You Hear Me

Oh Tinnitus you are a pain
Your high-pitched white noise invades my brain

Because you are not very kind 
You cause my head to hurt sometimes

I never know when you will appear 
Or will turn up the volume in my ear

But I will not let you rule my life 
So we will continue with our strife

Until the day the doctors find
A way to ban you from my mind

Oh Tinnitus you are such a pain
Why can’t you just go away

leaving me with the sound of silence

DAMO

Jan Allison November 17, 2018 at 2:07 PM Can relate on a personal level and my hubby also suffers wish they could find a cure or a way of it developing in the first place:-( hugs Jan xx Damian Keady November 17, 2018 at 2:50 PM Thank you so much Jan, and so sorry to hear that you and your hubby also suffer from this. For me personally I have lived with it now for approx 10yrs, but I won't let it defeat me or stop me living a normal life. It's playing loud right now, if I had the volume button I would turn it off. I suppose that is what needs to happen for a cure, being able to turn it off, or finding the cause in the first place. All the best DAMO
